ANGEL GARDENS BLAZE
Fire has destroyed the Angel Gardens garden centre at Stanford Bridge. The blaze broke out on Sunday, 26 January, and was extinguished by fire crews who attended.
Owner Louise Mawditt said the main building had been gutted. "Fortunately the shop cat has survived and was found hiding in a nearby polytunnel," she said. "We will be closed for the foreseeable future but hope to reopen soon."
